How did the Maya civilization government and social classes impact their culture and daily lives?

Maslowich

The Mayans were a very powerful region, and made important discoveries that influenced us now. However, they had some struggles against the natural environment, and their background history has failures and successes. The Maya was not a unified civilization, and it was made up of city-states ruled by an independent leader, the king. There were many kings in the Mayan time, but each king preferably ruled a different city-state. All the city-states followed the same culture, systems, etc., but they did not get along. Many city-states went to war with others, and destroyed each other. However, there was peace between all city-states at sometime, and the leaders often met each other to discuss important discussions.

Each city-state was advanced and well educated. The king was highly respected, and thought to be actually half god, half human, or, it was thought that the king was working for the gods. The people also had a strong belief that the king was chosen by the gods to rule, and was given permission. Not just the king ruled, also high officials were chosen among the nobles, (Lords, military leaders, priests, etc.) and also helped the king rule. Religion was very, very important in Mayan life, so priests were powerful figures in the government too, sometimes as powerful as the king. (The king was sometimes thought of as a priest.) Kings of Maya often came to priests for advice for what to do in a conflict, or for predictions of the future. Priests had a lot of influence on how the king ruled, and what the king did.

Mayan life was very strict and hard to follow. Many religious rituals were hosted everyday by the king, and it could last for more than 6 hours. Mayan laws were very strict, and had harsh punishments if the people committed crimes. Murder, arson, acts against the gods, (Acting against the gods had a very severe punishment, often death.) The punishment was reduced if the crime was found to be an accident, but still there was a punishment. If someone broke a law, they appeared in court and local leaders or nobles accompanied the judge in deciding the punishment. Sometimes, but rarely, the king was the judge. Usually, the king just sat and announced the person guilty or not. At the trial, the judge would get the evidence together, and also, witnesses would be there, and the judge would listen and talk to them. If the person was found guilty, then the punishment was announced and given right away.

There was no prisons in the Mayan times, so mostly the punishments were, death sentences, becoming a slave, and fines. Sometimes they would shave the person’s head when the crime was very small and was an accident, the shaved head represented the sign of shame. If the victim wanted to apologize and beg forgiveness, the punishment was reduced. The Mayan government was guessed to be an oligarchy, but it is not absolutely sure. There were 52 Mayan kings, and every single one of them has been powerful and treated like a god.

Which group sought religious freedom in the New England colonies? 1 Quakers 2 Pilgrims 3 Enslaved Africans 4 Prisoners

True [87]

The correct answer is number 2) Pilgrims.

The group that sought religious freedom in the New England colonies were the Pilgrims.

The Puritans and the Pilgrims came to North America to escape religious persecution. Puritans' and Pilgrims' ideas have had a major impact on the social norms of New England.

Both groups faced many problems in Britain because they had major differences with the Church of England. So they decided to travel to the Americas to find a place where they could live their religious principles with no persecution. They arrive in Massachusetts and founded the colony of Plymouth in 1620, and years later, the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.

In what ways did the new deal hope to aid the south?

mihalych1998 [28]

The New Deal, implemented by Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a way to help the American economy recover during the Great Depression. When it comes to the Southern US, FDR made programs that were aimed at providing relief for this part of the country. One of the most famous ones was the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

This act paid farmers to not make crops. The reason why the government did not want farmers producing more crops is because their was a surplus of several goods in the economy. When there is a surplus, the cost of these goods decreases, meaning farmers make less money of their products. By creating the Agricultural Adjustment Act, FDR helped to increase the price of foods made by farmers, allowing them to generate a greater profit.
